I live, love, work & play in Los Angeles. It warms my heart to hear Randy Newman's song "I Love LA" at sporting events. I started this blog after the whole 'leave me alone I'm staring in wonderment at my kid' phase abated a bit. I still love doing everything I did BK (Before Kid) checking out new restaurants, movies, music, books, TV, & travel. Plus a few new things like Yoga & writing. So that's how this blog came to be on a week long business trip away from my beloved city & family.

Beijing 2008 Olympic Medals

For this year's 2008 Beijing Summer Olympic games - the gold, silver and bronze medals incorporate a distinctive band of jade. The gold medal has the lighter finer jade, while the silver has the white-greenish jade, and the bronze has the darker green jade.

It's the first time in Olympic history that medals are made of material besides metal. Unique and pretty spectacular!
